Abstract

We have developed a new breakwater, named as VCF-Breakwater for generating vertical circulation flow which transports oxygen-rich surface water into the anoxic sea bottom. In this study, the behavior of the vertical circulation flow was measured using dye and PIV technique and salinity profiles were also measured by salnometers. Based on the experimental results, the effectiveness of the VCF breakwater is discussed.
